When I first moved to London I really struggled to find a quality and reliable place to have my haircut. I was dissatisfied with the unisex hair salons and high street barbers that I had tried. Last year I was invited to an event with Farfetch that was hosted at Murdock; originally opened in Shoreditch in 2006, Murdock now has seven London based barbershop's; a Paris location, and a great range of own-brand grooming products

Now that summer is officially and unfortunately over, I have been going through all of the photos that I took and recapping on my travels. Back in August I travelled to the Cyclades, the group of screensaver-worthy Greek islands in the Aegean Sea. Our first stop was an island that I’ve heard many people dub ‘the new Cannes’, famous for it’s extravagant nightlife, designer boutiques, landmark windmills and the traditional white-and-blue stucco town overlooking the sea; as far as Instagram is concerned – Mykonos seemed to be the place to be this year! With the help of my trusty friend TripAdvisor it really didn’t take long to find the dream hotel: Rocabella Mykonos, with 1,254 reviews, 902 of them rated ‘excellent’ and 62 ‘very good’, we booked in for the duration of our stay on the island. Perched on a serene stretch of coast next to the unspoiled beach of Agios Stefanos, just two kilometers from Chora (Mykonos’ main town), Rocabella’s location was close enough to the action without compromising on much-needed relaxation...

TheUltra Boost is my
favourite sneaker silhouette that Adidas has brought out in the last few years.
Consisting of a Primeknit (adidas’ knitted sock-like material) upper and
sitting on a Boost mid-sole - I believe the Ultra Boost is possibly the
comfiest trainer in the world and it is definitely Adidas' biggest success story
in recent years. Boost is Adidas’ latest technology; effectively a
polystyrene-looking material made up of thousands of tiny foam pellets glued
together, acting in unison to form a pillow-y shock absorber for your feet...

For all those that know me, I think they would confidently
support me in saying that I don’t simply eat to live… I live to eat. Food is
one of my biggest passions, and whilst I haven’t documented that appetite so
much on this platform, it’s something I really hope to do more of. I’ve found
it hard to photograph food when in all honesty I prefer to enjoy it there and
then. How can you pull out your camera and snap away when you are in company
and have amazing food in front of you? However, it is something I will endeavor
to do… this hopefully being the first of many…

This oversized ‘Felpato’ (‘brushed material’ in Italian) shirt by Haider Ackermann has a brushed felt texture. The shirt is in a bold washed International Klein Blue (IKB) shade: IKB is a deep blue hue first mixed by the French artist Yves Klein and comes from its heavy reliance on Ultramarine. IKB was a key colour in both Haider Ackermann and Givenchy’s SS16 shows and is a brilliant statement tone for the warmer months. Both the wash and texture of the Felpato shirt strongly resembles that of a classic French ‘Chore’ jacket (which I have been on the hunt for) whilst the cut reminded me of a baggy painter shirt that you could imagine Picasso throwing on…although you wouldn’t want to get paint on this piece...
